Trying Waste Wasting Time
The late '90s were a really bad time for people trying to be rock stars, you know what i mean? it seemed like everyone was a one-hit wonder on the radio. we had friends who had a hit single on the radio and sold 500,000 records, and then they couldn't get arrested a year later. i had this feeling at the time that that was not possible anymore, so the idea of becoming the biggest band in the country—it seemed laughable. i felt that having those sort of ambitions was foolish, because there was no way that was going to be possible. if you saw it that way, you were just deluding yourself.

Let us look at wealth and poverty. the affluent society and the deprived society inter-are. the wealth of one society is made of the poverty of the other. "this is like this, because that is like that." wealth is made of non-wealth elements, and poverty is made by non-poverty elements. [...] so we must be careful not to imprison ourselves in concepts. the truth is that everything contains everything else. we cannot just be, we can only inter-be. we are responsible fo everything that happens around us.
